Simple maths said it wouldn't work because of something called "fisicks" but he did the work anyway cause he was getting paid to. He designed and manufactured the prototype nose cones.
. Turned out it was all a rooos to scare the ruskies and make them spend time and money on it. We do that a lot, make them waste resources on stoopid crap.

Here's a hint: Some guy named Newton said if you push forward and backward, you don't move.

The real issue is that you can't steer them as all the control surfaces are within the bubble.

Divert bubble production from one side. Increase friction. Steer?
